Didja win for being too good.
NGADM Round 5: FINALS
Good luck to my competitor Waterflame! Congratulations to everybody involved, there's nothing like sharing a whole bunch of new great music within a short amount of time, and receiving incredible feedback from all the kind, helpful, and honest judges. NGADM totally gave me a chance to improve on everything I wanted to work on. I was never able to scrape up the motivation until now, and learning all these new things motivates me to write more after this anyway.
And another thing: THANK YOU CAMOSHARK. For helping me out here and on Fly me to Blue earlier. Here, she provided the trumpet and sax player for this song, and was a big help during the finishing touches. Please, listen to hers genius music, she's out of this world:

Lyrics:
Way too wicked and wild
The second from the sun is the closest thing to hell,
You will suffocate! You'll suffocate!
Far, far from feeling the flame
But close enough to melt on the second from the sun
We will lose our minds! We will wisp away!
At least the shame is gone
To violate our precious preservation
Pack us in a shuttle and send us toward the sun,
But not all the way!
There's a quicker way..
Does anybody even deserve to live?
Second from the sun answers with her deadly pressure
Crushing all aboard
Crushing all of man
Breathe all the oxygen you can and
Enjoy another sun tan before we bite the dust
If I'm literal..
Luckily the love you loathe'll leave
Searing in the clouds, you'll just fry all your emotions
And cease to exist!
War went so sour
Bombs burnt the land
We failed our sons, we were so wrong
Relied on god to save us
Fly toward the sun
Leave this wasted land
Fire will take you anyway
Venus take us
At least our death is quick to come out here
God gives you the confidence to die
Otherwise you'd be the loser who loves the life he has
Is that so backwards?
Does it matter now? Ooo!
Sound, sound asleep in seconds flat,
We will die a hasty death thanks to all of those who tried
To save their soul!
Way too wicked are we
We're parasites
Exploring, devouring..
My heart begs Venus
To reach out and
Take us
Didja win for being too good.
Cool. Reminds me of Dream Theater
Bad ass!!!
The first thing I thought of was Mars Volta.. This is an excellent track here.
NGADM Final and stuff.
Put out a crazy awesome tune, won the NGADM, gave me an eargasm.
Really, I'm running out of ways to say I think your stuff is awesome. As before, the riffing was awesome, the progish sound was very well done and kept things very interesting, the vocals (harmonies and all) were spot on and had a unique "Kor-Rune feel" to them. Just awesome all around.
The only complaints I have are every so often throughout the song, I noticed there was kind of a static or white noise in the mix... I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but it confused me as to why it was there, felt very out of place... or maybe I'm going crazy or my speakers are starting to die... I dunno...
That and the chug felt extremely similar throughout the entire song, for the most part it held the same general rhythm all throughout, which felt a little repetitive after a while.
That aside, awesome work, flowed between numerous moods, kept things very interesting, and as mentioned above, overall... gave me an eargasm. 8.5/10.
Congratz champ.
No, you're hearing living room fuzz, yes. I need one of them mic-stand vocal booth thingies
